a win in effect for the obama administration. that is that the senate banking committee chairman tim johnson has come out saying that he will not pursue sanctions, new sanctions, legislation for the time, releasing a statement to cnn saying the president and secretary kerry have made a strong case for a pause in congressional action on new iran sanctions so i'm inclined to support the request and hold off on committee action for now. that does not kill sanctions entirely, because there are other members of the senate who can pursue it. i reached out to the staff of senator robert menendez, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. i'm told he will continue to pursue sanctions along with senator mark kirk, republican. i'm told that many according to staff for menendez will come to support them so you have that possibility. but it is a victory and it likely means that the way the senate works, that this will not come to be new legislation until january. the administration bought some time here at least at a minimum. >> th
